Welcome ME !!

I welcome myself to the blogging world...a world I didn't understand...something I honestly thought was a waste of time...until I met the Bellas! I haven't even met any of you personally, but reading your blogs through my daily email and seeing more people just like me, feels like I know each one of you already. I am unsure as to which I love most...making cards or buying stuff to make cards! I first heard of Stamping Bella from splitcoaststampers.com and instantly fell in love. I felt like a kid in a candy store. I ended up placing two orders this month alone and am already listing what I'm going to order next!! Is that weird?

Oh well, a little about myself...I am a 28 year young mother of 2. My daughters are 10 and 4. They LOVE stamping with Mom! I will post some of their stuff too...too cute! I have been married for 5 years, but together for 9. I am in the beginning stages of building a Primerica Financial Services agency. It is another passion of mine. I am a daughter, a sister, a mentor and a friend. I stamp because it takes me away from my hectic life. It allows me to have "me" time and not to feel guilty. I sometimes push myself too hard and forget to take care of "me".

I started stamping in 2003. I was introduced to it by a Stampin' Up demonstrator at a party at Mom's work. I had gone on maternity leave the day before and had lots of time. $300 later and a Demonstrator Agreement signed, I was going to conquer the world! =) Only until recently did I venture out to other stamps. I guess you can call me "loyal"! tehehe...and a little crazy!

Thanks for you time...and can someone tell me how this blog thing works?!?! how do I become part of groups and stuff?! =)

Mel =)
